make it with:
Lavender Cream Cold Foam
This fluffy, creamy cold foam is flavored with lavender and is light enough to sip with ease. A tasty topping to lattes!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Lavender Cream London Fog Iced Latte recipe:
- Milk – whatever neutral tasting dairy or plant based milk you prefer is great.
- Earl grey tea – the foundation for a classic London Fog, earl grey tea is a black tea with notes of citrus. I recommend regular earl grey over Darjeeling earl grey for the more robust flavors that will stand up better in a latte.
- Lavender Cream Cold Foam – Made with Lavender Simple Syrup, heavy cream, and 2% milk, this quick and easy cold foam whips up with a milk frother into a perfectly creamy but light foam that’s easy to drink.
- Lavender Simple Syrup – This super easy syrup is made with just water, sugar, and dried lavender flowers.
Pick a winning
Earl Grey Tea
I highly recommend opting for either a loose leaf tea or one that comes in a biodegradable tea “pyramid” for the best flavor. Ultimately any store brand will work, but here are some of my fave earl grey options:
- Harney & Sons Earl Grey Supreme (20 teabags for $4.75) – This tea has a complex and bold flavor that’s perfect for mixing into a latte.
- Teapigs Earl Grey Strong (15 teabags for $9.99) – I found this one at a nice grocery store the first time. The flavor is great and I really loved the blue cornflower petals!
- Adagio Teas Earl Grey with Lavender (15 teabags for $9) – I love the idea of getting even more lavender flavor right in the tea blend!
- Art of Tea Earl Grey Crème (12 teabags for $23.50) – This one is a splurge but is my favorite to drink on its own. Aside from the classic earl grey blend, it also has a touch of vanilla for a creamy vibe (hence the crème).
